Long-term Care and Assisted Living Operator Transition

The BC government is taking significant steps to ensure seniors and people with complex health needs in publicly funded care homes, and the workers who care for them, continue to have the support they need, regardless of where they live or work.

A new memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the Ministry of Health, the Health Employers Association of B.C. (HEABC) and the Facilities Bargaining Association (FBA) brings eligible care-home operators to HEABC membership, ensuring workers are covered by an HEABC-negotiated collective agreement.
